Riley Keough and her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, have welcomed a daughter, a rep for the actress confirmed to Page Six.
Smith-Petersen alluded to the startling revelation while reading a letter from his wife in Lisa Marie Presley Memorial at Graceland on Sunday.
“Thank you for showing me that love is the only thing that matters in this life. I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and sisters,” Keough’s letter to his late mother read in part.
“Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I am a product of your heart, my sisters are a product of your heart, my brother is a product of your heart.
Smith-Petersen, who married Keough in 2015, did not elaborate on when her daughter was born or reveal her name.
The little boy was the grandson of Lisa Marie, who sadly passed away last week at the age of 54.
The rock ‘n’ roll heiress, the only daughter of the late Elvis Presley and his wife, Priscilla Presley, died on january 12 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
In addition to Riley, Lisa Marie was also the mother of twin daughters, Finley and Harper Lockwood14, along with his son Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in July 2020. He was 27 years old.
Riley, who was scheduled to speak at the memorial, sat in the front row as her husband read the moving letter aloud on her behalf.
“I remember you giving me baths as a baby, driving me in my car seat listening to Aretha Franklin…taking me out for ice cream after school in Florida,” she recalled.
“I remember you singing lullabies to me and my brother at night, and how you would lie with us until we fell asleep.”
The message continued: “I remember how it felt to be loved by the most loving mother I have ever known. How safe it felt to be in your arms: I remember that feeling as a child and I remember it two weeks ago on your sofa.
riley first addressed the death of his mother in a Instagram post last week.
The “Daisy Jones & The Six” star shared a photo of herself holding flowers while looking at her mother. She captioned the post simply with a red heart emoji.
